This Sunday December 9th, there will be a morning service at 11h and no afternoon service. In this Sunday morning service, there will be baptism.

After the Sunday service, we will have a potluck lunch together to celebrate the baptism. You are welcome to bring a simple lunch dish or a cake to share. The location is the same as usual – Bakkehaugen church.

The ‘Church Coffee’ of OiC is beloved by all of us. It is the wonderful time directly after the church service where you feel most community-like, can socialize with old and new friends or can get to know new people.

There are some who are responsible for the Church Coffee regularly, but it would be nice if more people would participate, just now and then. We encourage people to bring food from their own culture such that we can celebrate the internationality of the church 🙂

On the sign up form, people can sign up for bringing food, helping with the practical part, or both!

For the food part you can bring whatever you want, fruit, cake, biscuits, soup, spring rolls. The practical part is making coffee and tea and washing the dishes -with a machine- afterwards. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare before church and 30 minutes to clean up after. There is a clear guide in the church coffee box and even if you have questions, there are always others to help out.

The online sign up form for Church Coffee is hosted by Sign Up Genius:

On Sunday 11th, the church service takes place at Sjøglimt, where the congregation is on Summer Camp . There will not be a service at Bakkehaugen kirke this day! Next Sunday, the church service will be Bakkehaugen kirke as usual.

On Palm Sunday there will be a regular service at Bakkehaugen kirke at 16:00. This is the first service with the Easter theme ‘Faith’s Author’, on why Jesus is the epicenter of our faith.

Friday, April 14: Good Friday

On Good Friday there will be a potluck at Rebekah and Richard’s home at 12:30. The address is: Nadderudveien 180A, Eiksmarka 1359, Bærum. The nearest bus stop is Nordjordet and nearest t-bane is Lijordet on Line 2.

A potluck is a meal in which each person contributes with a dish to share. Please bring anything to contribute to the Good Friday lunch.

On Easter Sunday we will have a potluck at the church! It starts at 14:00 and please bring a dish to share and have a great time together, enjoying each other’s food while celebrating that our Lord has risen. The church service will be right after at the regular time (16:00).

On the Sunday after the winter day, we have the OiC Annual Meeting, in which the board and ministry leaders present last year’s results and in which we discuss and take decisions for the coming period; for example, we will elect new board members.

The annual meeting takes place after the service in our church coffee area. The church service will be a bit shorter and of course there will be church coffee 🙂
